The isci driver is for the integrated SAS controller in the Intel C600
(Patsburg) chipset. Source files in sys/dev/isci directory are
FreeBSD-specific, and sys/dev/isci/scil subdirectory contains
an OS-agnostic library (SCIL) published by Intel to control the SAS
controller. This library is used primarily as-is in this driver, with
some post-processing to better integrate into the kernel build
environment.
isci.4 and a README in the sys/dev/isci directory contain a few
additional details.
This driver is only built for amd64 and i386 targets.

Rewrote the netback driver for xen to attach properly via newbus
and work properly in both HVM and PVM mode (only HVM is tested).
Works with the in-tree FreeBSD netfront driver or the Windows
netfront driver from SuSE. Has not been extensively tested with
a Linux netfront driver. Does not implement LRO, TSO, or
polling. Includes unit tests that may be run through sysctl
after compiling with XNB_DEBUG defined.

Fix page fault in kernel mode when calling m_print() on a
null mbuf. Since m_print() is only used for debugging, there
are no performance concerns for extra error checking code.
sys/kern/subr_scanf.c:
Add the "hh" and "ll" width specifiers from C99 to scanf().
A few callers were already using "ll" even though scanf()
was handling it as "l".

selection in snd_hda(4) driver.
Now driver tracks jack presence detection status for every CODEC pin. For
playback associations, when configured, that information, same as before,
can be used to automatically redirect audio to headphones. Also same as
before, these events are used to track digital display connection status
and fetch ELD. Now in addition to that driver uses that information to
automatically switch recording source of the mixer to the connected input.
When there are devices with no jack detection and with one both connected,
last ones will have the precedence. As result, on most laptops after boot
internal microphone should be automatically selected. But if external one
(for example, headset) connected, it will be selected automatically.
When external mic disconnected, internal one will be selected again.
Automatic recording source selection is enabled by default now to make
recording work out of the box without touching mixer. But it can be
disabled or limited only to attach time using hint.pcm.X.rec.autosrc loader
tunables or dev.pcm.X.rec.autosrc sysctls.

These functions take a `struct cdev *' -- not a dev_t. Inside the
kernel, dev_t has the same use as in userspace, namely to store a device
identifier.

- Huge old hdac driver was split into three independent pieces: HDA
controller driver (hdac), HDA CODEC driver (hdacc) and HDA sudio function
driver (hdaa).
- Support for multichannel recording was added. Now, as specification
defines, driver checks input associations for pins with sequence numbers
14 and 15, and if found (usually) -- works as before, mixing signals
together. If it doesn't, it configures input association as multichannel.
- Signal tracer was improved to look for cases where several DACs/ADCs in
CODEC can work with the same audio signal. If such case found, driver
registers additional playback/record stream (channel) for the pcm device.
- New controller streams reservation mechanism was implemented. That
allows to have more pcm devices then streams supported by the controller
(usually 4 in each direction). Now it limits only number of simultaneously
transferred audio streams, that is rarely reachable and properly reported
if happens.
- Codec pins and GPIO signals configuration was exported via set of
writable sysctls. Another sysctl dev.hdaa.X.reconfig allows to trigger
driver reconfiguration in run-time.
- Driver now decodes pins location and connector type names. In some cases
it allows to hint user where on the system case connectors, related to the
pcm device, are located. Number of channels supported by pcm device,
reported now (if it is not 2), should also make search easier.
- Added workaround for digital mic on some Asus laptops/netbooks.

Document the current semantics of the 'quiet' command prefix
in the rc.subr(8).
Fix dhclient rc.d script: it should not call err() for
non-DHCP-enabled interface when it is called from devd, because the
latter just blindly calls 'service dhclient quietstart' on each "link
up" event.
Since the 'quietstart' will silence the message "Cannot 'start' <foo>.
Set <foo>_enable to YES in /etc/rc.conf or use 'onestart' instead of
'start'." and running dhclient on the non-DHCP-enabled interface is
the same thing as running the service <foo> without <foo>_enable set,
such modification is in sync with the current semantics of the 'quiet'
prefix.

The macro construction used now, is almost identical to the code
provided in C11 proposal N1404. This new version doesn't seem to
introduce any regressions according to the regression test in tools/,
but still seems to malfunction with Clang on certain aspects.
The new code does work successfully with GCC 4.2, 4.6 and 4.7. With 4.7,
it also works when __generic() is implemented on top of _Generic().

I was considering adding it to libc as well, but last minute I thought
it would be good enough to add it to libkern exclusively. I forgot to
rename the man page and hook it up.
It seems two of the file system drivers we have in the tree, namely ufs
and ext3, use a function called `skpc()'. The meaning of this function
does not seem to be documented in FreeBSD, but it turns out one needs to
be a VAX programmer to understand what it does.
SPKC is an instruction on the VAX that does the opposite of memchr(). It
searches for the non-equal character. Add a new function called
memcchr() to the tree that has the following advantages over skpc():
- It has a name that makes more sense than skpc(). Just like strcspn()
matches the complement of strspn(), memcchr() is the complement of
memchr().
- It is faster than skpc(). Similar to our strlen() in libc, it compares
entire words, instead of single bytes. It seems that for this routine
this yields a sixfold performance increase on amd64.
- It has a man page.
aspect of time stamp configuration per interface rather than per BPF
descriptor. Prior to this, the order in which BPF devices were opened and the
per descriptor time stamp configuration settings could cause non-deterministic
and unintended behaviour with respect to time stamping. With the new scheme, a
BPF attached interface's tscfg sysctl entry can be set to "default", "none",
"fast", "normal" or "external". Setting "default" means use the system default
option (set with the net.bpf.tscfg.default sysctl), "none" means do not
generate time stamps for tapped packets, "fast" means generate time stamps for
tapped packets using a hz granularity system clock read, "normal" means
generate time stamps for tapped packets using a full timecounter granularity
system clock read and "external" (currently unimplemented) means use the time
stamp provided with the packet from an underlying source.
- Utilise the recently introduced sysclock_getsnapshot() and
sysclock_snap2bintime() KPIs to ensure the system clock is only read once per
packet, regardless of the number of BPF descriptors and time stamp formats
requested. Use the per BPF attached interface time stamp configuration to
control if sysclock_getsnapshot() is called and whether the system clock read
is fast or normal. The per BPF descriptor time stamp configuration is then
used to control how the system clock snapshot is converted to a bintime by
sysclock_snap2bintime().
- Remove all FAST related BPF descriptor flag variants. Performing a "fast"
read of the system clock is now controlled per BPF attached interface using
the net.bpf.tscfg sysctl tree.
- Update the bpf.4 man page.
